“Yes, that’s true However, it is the lonely cruel winter thatbeings on earth live in a cycle don’t they?”
“That’s right, that’s the aht whether it was an appropriate time to flaunt his ‘talent ords’

White Cloud had been nibbling at by a patch of dried grass he flicked his long tail and trotted slowly to hisdisplaced, jealous that Feng Ming had gained more importance than hi felt a crazy attraction to the horse, the gravity of the force was stronger than any feelings he had for the King This was one dangerous love triangle
Wanting to feel the sleeky length of White Cloud’s tail, the prince couldn’t resist trying to catch it in his hand
White Cloud was the property of the Regent King who did nothing but spoil him He was a proud animal and he shunned contact other than hiswas evident as he responded by whipping his tail into the boy’s face then turned back to offer a disgruntled neigh
“Be careful,” The Regent King long anticipated that Feng Ming would do so to provoke his pet, as expected the repercussions of Feng Ming’s action only served to give hih
When White Cloud whipped his tail at the Prince’s face for round two, Rong Tian stepped between and separated the boy and the anirab hold of White Cloud’s tail frustrated hi down on o and provoke him? Horse’s have a temper, besides White Cloud is the best horse in Xi Rei”
“I’ Ming gritted his teeth, and re “I want to ride White Cloud and you pro wang raised an eyebrow, “You’ve injured yourself there last night are you still able to ride?”
Recalling his hued He snatched Rong Tian’s collar and threatened, “I want to ride and I will not give up until I do!”
The King was caught up in the boy’s demand, he had no other option than to raise his hands up and surrender, “Alright, I will ride a lap with you Just around thisi mounted and lifted the Prince so this ti up Feng Ming’s injuries in this position, Rong Tian refused to let the horse bolt carelessly Instead he had li the way as the pair passed landuide and mentor role kicked in The lovely scenery becaraphy and local conditions
“Over there lies Xi Rei River, the largest river in our country The land which the river crosses is highly fertile and gives rise to the azed into the distance, sure enough caught sight of a large body of water rushi+ng and snaking through the landscape from the east On either side were countless plots of cultivated land Although it inter hardworking peasants were still labouring away
He didn’t understand farlances he was disinterested Instead he turned his attention to the high es that were beyond the farmlands which appeared to span far into the distance
“Look over there, there are soarrives you have to takeyou only think about having fun Next Spring will be your eighteenth birthday do you knohat thatwas talking about politics again…Feng Ming i a look
“What are you trying to ihteen therefore you can ascend the throne”
“I know, at that ti Ming’s pitiful expression was entertaining, Rong Tian let out a chuckle before stroking Feng Ming’s back tenderly
“Feng Ming, next year Xi Rei’s power fight for the throne will finally conclude Such a complicated matter will be settled, however, it won’t be without enormous difficulties ahead For us to be able to survive till next March is a hard task”
“Please don’t speak of such depressing matters! Aren’t we out here to enjoy ourselves today? Even if you work hard you can’t neglect the joys of living and having fun How about we set aside business and work on leisure?” The Prince protested
Rong wang lovingly stroked Feng Ming’s head in apology
If given opportunity to meet both men at the same tihly the sa, he always appeared to be old and wise as if he hadlooked deeply into Rong wang’s face and then suddenly thought of all that the Regent King had to endure to reach the stage he was at
Growing up surrounded by feuds and conspiracies was an unhealthy environment No wonder why the man was so stern and tense How many secrets of his past were still hidden deep inside? Was he scarred fro put hisTian was like a rew up from a dysfunctional family The Prince decided to let this one slip
With syed the subject, “Where was I up to?”
“You just said that in spring you wanted to cliht There are soit will be stunningly beautiful”
Feng Ming giggled
Rong wang let out a sigh, “Those Mountains are a pleasing to the eyes fro Nues make up the majority of Xi Rei’s land and unfortunately there isn’t et us over a long winter If there is a bad harvest, that year our people will face a famine and ill need to seek assistance fro a fortune for provisions”
